Hi, MaxDemian,

Your Cloud is a 3TB HD, you can download the virgin disk image which created by kissu ( http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQBVbc2)..)

You need to plugin your hard disk into a Ubuntu computer or other Linux OS computer, run the GParted to check which one is your cloud drive, take /dev/sdb as example, and follow below guide:

1.Deleted all partitions using parted:

root@y-System-Product-Name:/# parted
GNU Parted 2.3
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) select /dev/sdb 
Using /dev/sdb 
(parted) mklabel gpt
Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sdb will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you
want to continue?
Yes/No? y 
(parted) quit 
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

 2. Restored the partitions with the virgin image downloaded inn terminal:

dd if=/mnt/usb/MyCloud3TB.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

/mnt/usb/MyCloud3TB.img is the image file, check the full path of the file on your external disk and replace it

/dev/sdb being the path to the WDMycloud disk, check what’s the correct one and replace it

  1. That’s all, a quick factory restore is needed. Engoy!
